The skunk smell is really improving in the van and on poor Keeper – lots of fresh air and multiple sprays and wipes are making a difference. No sense in going for in the van with Keeper! When I go to church on Sunday I’ll be driving Red.
More bullseye quilts for you to enjoy tonight. I did a quick internet search for any raw edge bullseye quilts made before 1999 and found none but the classes and tutorials are claimed by anyone and everyone.
Great quilts coming up!

Hope to continue raking tomorrow – if it doesn’t rain – again.
I’ve used a product called Odor X It for smells that are nasty. It’s not inexpensive, but it works on many things I thought it wouldn’t.
Love, love athe bullseye quilt parade. So different!
To the Lady who made the Dear Jane quilt, I salute you! Plan to finish mine one day, I hope. Well done, it’s beautiful.
Try giving your dog a bath in Tomato juice. It will neutralize the oder of skunk.
Beautiful variety of Bullseyes. As always your readers are creative!!
Poor Keeper. I really should have to recipe ingredients handy as I put Buster out the back door after dark! All I have is expensive tomato sause! Ha!
Yea, Keeper is progressing to no skunk smell left behind! The myriad of color combinations for the Bull’s Eye quilts are stunning. Love the other reader quilts interspersed, too. Thanks, Mary, for doing the blog.

My daughter’s Godmother used tomato juice to wash their dog when he got “skunked”.
She would buy it by the case. Ha! It seemed to do the job.
The bullseye quilts are fabulous!
You have such wonderful followers!
I am so enjoying all the bullseye quilts! I loved the red and pink one – would never have thought of doing it all in one color! They are so lovely
Those bullseye quilts are great. I really really liked the red and pink one. I see a bullseye quilt in my future. Thanks for postings all the wonderful pics Mary.
I’m loving all the bullseye quilts. Makes me want to put my blocks together!
So glad Keeper is smelling a little better. I have a skunk that goes through my backyard and my neighbors regularly. I’ve tried all kinds of ways to block him but he moves rocks and boards or digs another hole under the fence. He likes my grubs and tears up my lawn.
we doused our dog in vanilla following the “de-stink” bath. seemed to help. maybe you could wipe on keeper?
Mary – I thought I’d be able to pick out one Bullseye as a favorite, but I can’t. The one black and white was stunning and I thought for sure it was my favorite, but then I continued on through the posts and the quilts were just one after another beautiful. I decided they’re all great! I will have to make a Bullseye just to see if I can do it! 😊
Thanks for sharing
Sharon – oh, I guarantee you can do it unless you just can’t stand if things don’t match. The bullseyes that have been cut with a die cutter just make me sad and disappointed because part of the process was cutting the circles freehand adding to the charm.
Mary and Sharon, I agree with the unique style of free hand cutting your own circles. The first time I did it, I was scrunching up my face thinking is this really my style. Then I made another block and by four blocks, I was hooked and couldn’t wait to assemble it all together. There are now so many color ways after seeing the wonderful pictures your readers shared. It was one of my best quilting memories and our favorite quilt to snuggle up with.
Glad the smell on Keeper is improving. Hope he learned something he won’t forget. Have enjoyed all of the variety of bullseye quilts. Really liked the one with the denim background from yesterday. That would be a good guy quilt-I’m thinking denim background with plaid shirts.
I really like my bullseye quilt with denim background material. I made it “ragtime” so quilted each block individually with a quick spiral along the stitched appliqued circle. I used homespuns on the back and put my raw edges to the homespun side. It would make a great Guy quilt.
Rosemary – oh, what a great idea! Yes, it would be a great quilt for a guy, wouldn’t it? Thanks for that explanation.
Rosemary – This sounds wonderful! I’ve made 4 bullseye quilts and probably a dozen rag quilts but I think I may have to try your directions to combine some denim, plaids and homespuns that are languishing in my stash!
I just received my copy of Quilts from Aunt Amy, which I ordered to make a bullseye quilt. What an awesome book! Your Aunt Amy was a beautiful and talented woman and it was a great tribute to her. I’ll be making several of the quilts. .
